How to cook delicious corn on the grill: a selection of original recipes for summer treats

Summer is a great time for outdoor friendly gatherings. It doesn't matter whether you go to the forest or to the sea, sit by the barbecue in the country house or in the courtyard of a private house - no such event is complete without mouth-watering dishes cooked on fire or charcoal. Meat, fish, cheese, mushrooms and various vegetables - many of your favorite foods are used. Among other gifts of nature, corn is a good option for roasting on a wire rack. And it should be noted that the taste of such a dish is in no way inferior to the more familiar boiled or canned vegetable.

Step-by-step recipes for grilled corn

The unique aroma and wonderful taste of corn cannot be confused with anything else. I have loved this dish since childhood and do not get tired of enjoying it again and again. But if earlier this applied only to a boiled or canned product, now I can safely recommend cooking curly cobs on the grill. It's amazing how this easy to prepare and deliciously delicious dish hasn't appeared on my menu before.

Grilled corn in leaves with curd cheese and herbs

All methods of cooking a vegetable over charcoal are pretty simple. In this option, you don't even need to peel the cobs from the leaves.

Ingredients:

• 6-8 unpeeled corn cobs;
• 100 g softened butter;
• 100 g cream or curd cheese;
• 1 clove of garlic;
• 1/2 bunch mixed greens;
• salt and black pepper;
• vegetable oil.

Preparation:

1. Place the corn cobs unpeeled from the leaves in a large container, cover with cold water and leave for 30 minutes.

   

   Soak the corn cobs with the leaves

2. Rinse the greens, dry and chop finely with a knife. Do the same with one garlic clove.

   

   Chop fresh herbs

3. Combine butter, butter (or curd) cheese, herbs, garlic in a small bowl. Add salt and black pepper to your liking. Send the sauce to the refrigerator.

   

   Make a creamy sauce

4. Remove corn cobs soaked with liquid from the water, shake slightly. Gently, so as not to tear off, bend the leaves, remove the hairs. Season the corn with salt and brush with a little vegetable oil.

   

   Lubricate the corn with vegetable oil

5. Wrap the cobs with leaves and secure the blanks with culinary thread. The last step is to keep the delicate corn kernels covered from extreme heat throughout the baking process.

   

   Tie the leaves together to prevent them from opening up during charcoal cooking

6. Place the prepared ears on the wire rack and, turning occasionally, cook over charcoal for 15–20 minutes.

   

   Cook the vegetable for no more than a third of an hour

7. Remove the prepared corn from the grill. Separate the leaves so that one half of the cob is open lengthwise, and the other remains in a kind of plate of 2-3 sheets.

8. Brush the hot cobs with the previously prepared sauce and serve immediately.

   Use a grater to remove the zest from the citrus

4. Transfer the butter at room temperature to a small bowl, mix with the ginger, lime zest, salt, sugar and the juice of half a lime.

   

   Mix the ingredients of the flavored sauce

5. Brush the corn liberally with the butter, then wrap each ear with a double layer of baking foil.

7. After a third of an hour, remove the cobs from the coals with tongs, then carefully unfold the foil and transfer the corn to the grill (or grill) with a sheet of foil to lightly dry or brown it until it blushes. The last action is optional, since without it the food is very appetizing and tasty.

8. Transfer the dish to a dish, add your favorite spices if desired (in this case, hot ground pepper was used).

   

   The dish can be supplemented with spices to taste
